Balloon treatment for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open blocked coronary arteries. It may help people with symptoms of heart disease or signs of reduced blood flow to the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have symptoms of coronary artery disease (like chest pain) or test results show your heart muscle is not getting enough blood
- You have a stent that has re-narrowed, or a new blockage in a small artery (between 2.0 mm and 2.75 mm wide)
- You are not in cardiogenic shock or severe heart failure
- You are not pregnant or nursing, and you expect to live more than 2 years

This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine) to open blocked heart arteries in people who also have type 2 diabetes. It may help improve blood flow without permanent stents.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked arteries.
This trial studies a special artery treatment called DCB (drug-coated balloon) for new (de novo) blockages in people with coronary heart disease, guided by a heart scan measurement (QFR). It aims to check whether it is safe and works well to improve blood flow and reduce problems during follow-up.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
This trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
